Since being elected, Trump has taken a hard line against North Korea and its testing of nuclear weapons. In 2017, North Korea test-fired its first intercontinental ballistic missiles, and successfully fired what it said was a Hydrogen bomb.
Addressing the UN General Assembly in September, Trump threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea, if necessary. He has referred to Jong Un as rocket man, insisting that the dictator was on a suicide mission.
The war of words between the two leaders continued until 2018, when relations between North Korea and western allies started to improve.
South Korea invited North Korean athletes to the Winter Olympics, with Kim Jong Un accepting the invitation.
The two leaders met in South Korea in April, with North Korea announcing that it would be suspending its nuclear missile testing.
